  • Have you tried using Tor yet, also potentially Mullvad Browser with a VPN since Mullvad’s Browser has similar anti-fingerprinting and anti-tracking capabilities but for use outside the Tor Network.

    Also there is a lot of disinformation surrounding hardware based bans on Websites, typically pushed as fearmongering by Reddit’s moderators. Websites on modern secure browsers can’t read your hardware identifiers because modern secure web browsers are Sandboxed. Of course this doesn’t apply to Reddit’s mobile app so don’t use that ever really.

    Also you need to use a different email since they check for matching emails.




  • Netflix’s short stint with FMV / chooe-your-own adventure games highlights a perfect case of difficult preservation - all the runtimes are closed source apps, all the data is streamed from a server, and all the logic is held on the server.

    Add to that the fact that a lot of these types of non-standard content have low engagement and interest. Which is what ultimately makes preservation and piracy harder. If you had a lot of interest it would be difficult but not impossible to recreate some of the interactive elements around them, and extract/decrypt the video content. But without interest it’s more difficult. Also ironically the lack of interest is why these things are being sunsetted in the first place. It’s kind of a perfect storm in that they are hard to preserve and there is also low interest in preserving them as well.
